Summary

This new edition of the vocal score of the enchanting operetta was prepared by musicologists Carl Simpson and Ephraim Hammett Jones, who returned to original manuscripts and early sources to produce handsome, newly engraved plates closest to Gilbert and Sullivan's original intentions. All of the voice parts appear here, plus a piano reduction of the full score and the complete libretto.
